Wreck-It Ralph Is The Must See Film Of The Year

If you have not realized from all of my Wreck-It Ralph posts on Makobi Scribe that I am totally in love with this movie, I will tell you once again. Wreck-It Ralph is the must-see movie of the year. I mean it. I see a lot of movies. Sometimes I will have a marathon of movies all day long, and Wreck-It Ralph has definitely topped my list for must-see movies. There is something for everyone. The animation alone is enough to please any young viewer, but the comedic banter, like most Disney film, will keep the adult entertained. My favorite feature of the film is the palatable nostalgic quality that brings up fond memories of 8-bit arcade games when I was younger. Yes, I am old enough to remember when Atari and Calico-Vision made their debut.

As the film opens, you are witness to the struggle of a video game villain. He is unhappy and frustrated with his “lot in life” and wants to be a better man. He asks, “Why do I always have to be the bad guy?” and you even get to take a glimpse at a Bad-Guy Anon meeting or support group. Ralph tries to be a better guy and ends up in a whole mess of trouble which gets even worse when he has his run in with Vanellope (Sarah Silverman). Check out the cute featurette of all the Wreck-It Ralph characters in the YouTube video below.

I really do not want to give too much of the movie away because it was that good. When you know the background of how the movie was made with an inside peek into the making of the film, you will not be surprised that you can find Wreck-It Ralph merchandise already out on Amazon just in time for Christmas for the video game lover or Disney lover in your life! The film will soon be a family favorite and watched 100 times over like all the good Disney classics are.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
